A State Police bomb squad was sent to the scene, but “nothing hazardous or suspicious was found” after a search of the building’s interior and exterior, Procopio said. The search had ended by 6:40 p.m., he said.

Vehicle traffic near the building was temporarily diverted during the search, Dedham police said.

The incident remains under investigation.
